U.S. Bank Multi Service Aviation Creates Co-Branded Affinity Card Program for Flight Options, LLC.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- U.S. Bank Multi Service Aviation has created a co-branded affinity card program that fractional aircraft service provider Flight Options, LLC, can use to gain brand recognition throughout the aviation industry and streamline business processes.

As one of the largest fractional aircraft ownership companies in the world, Flight Options strives to meet the unique needs of its clients and deliver the results that their owner/members expect. Paramount to their success is a focus on delivering the highest level of customer service possible.

Flight Options wanted to streamline the tracking of flight expenses, including fuel, catering and other services. The Flight Options Multi Service Aviation co-branded affinity card provides detailed transaction information, delivers brand recognition, and helps ensure Flight Options' pricing programs are utilized.

"We have enjoyed a long-term partnership with Multi Service Aviation. A benefit of the combination of U.S. Bank and Multi Service Aviation was the Flight Options affinity card," said S. Michael Scheeringa, chief executive officer, Flight Options, LLC. "This card will bring increased awareness of the Flight Options brand to the market."

By creating a co-branded affinity card with Multi Service Aviation, Flight Options can also utilize Multi Service Aviation's closed network of over 7,000 merchants in more than 190 countries that accept the Multi Service Aviation Card, while still maintaining their brand and utilizing their own pricing discounts and programs.

"The Flight Options co-branded affinity card program truly expands our existing relationship," said Diane Criswell, vice president of Multi Service Aviation. "We are excited to work with Flight Options on this affinity card program, and we look forward to the areas of new growth this successful program will create for both companies."
